Show Invitation and Answer. Mr. F. C. Phillips In his book, "My Varied Life," tells how the late Sir George Honeyman, an infamous writer, sent down from the bench to a friend of his, a leading Q. C, a little note. Not able to make head nor tail of it, the barrister scribbled j something equally undecipherable I upon a half-sheet of note paper, and ! passed it up'to the judge. Sir George j looked annoyed, and when the court ! rose, said to his friend: "What do : you mean by this? 1 asked you to J "come and dine with me tonight." "Yes,' said the barrister, "and 1 re- ! plied that I should be extremely glad to do so." |
